In 2013, MEChA de UCLA general body began a campaign to support the UC workers represent by the union AFSCME 3299 in their fight for a fair contract. Workers are the backbone of the university and without them the university would cease to function. MEChistas chose to support workers because of how the struggles are interconnected. Of the 22,000 workers in the UC system who are receiving poverty wages from the UC, the majority are people of color. MEChistas took part in the creation of the Student Collective Against Labor Exploitation (SCALE), a space that has taken on student solidarity role of the campaign.
